"The following table shows the number of votes cast for Kelly in 1879 and the Democratic loss in 1880, as compared with 1876 in each of the counties named: Kelly Loss in 1880 Cayuga 712 557 Duchess 673 2,171 Kings 5,788 9,179 Monroe 2,088 1,749 New York 43,047 12,640 Niagara 574 861 Onondaga 1,468 658 Orange 980 762 Oswego 1,327 678 Queens 1,586 783 Rens' 1,144 1,313 Saratoga 452 1,317 Ulster 1,666 1,882 Westchester 1,755 1,985 ------ ------ 63,260 36,535 "The following table shows the same facts as to the counties therein named: Kelly Franklin 16 Jefferson 86 Otsego 74 St. Lawrence 35 Schoharie 16 Tompkins 35 Warren 83 Wyoming 65 ____ 410 In these 8 Counties the Democratic loss was only 684. "These eight counties, having a population of about 350,000 and nearly 100,000 voters, gave to the Kelly bolt in 1879 only 410 votes, and in 1880, as compared with 1876, they lost only 684. If only this ratio of loss had obtained throughout the State, our candidates would have succeeded by more than 25,000 majority. "But political cowards lacked the courage so to bear themselves as to command success. At the behest of the malcontents, who only one year before had fatally conspired against the Democratic party and its principles, they committed the cowardly act of calling the Saratoga convention for the avowed purpose of reinstating the traitors of 1879, and restoring them to influence and power. Being thus restored to position and power, the figures above presented are useful as tending to show how that power was used.
